Collections: Part 1


Collections... most people have a collection of some kind... books, buttons, etc. I have many {small} collections. Nothing extensive, nothing obsessive, but each one is slowly growing. I'm going to share them, one at a time. This time, it's my Peach Lusterware {mini} collection.


The first time I saw a piece of Peach Lusterware, I was in L-O-V-E. It has such a rich color, that shines and moves and catches the light. I love how an everyday dish, such as a casserole dish, can really be a show-stopper with that peach finish. It somehow makes a meal more special.


I haven't been collecting Peach Lusterware for very long, only for a few months, and it is tough to find around here... but I've had some luck. Of the Fire King Anchor Hocking Peach Lusterware, I've picked up a 1 1/2 Qt. divided casserole dish for $1.00, a small round casserole dish with lid for $0.75, two laurel tea cups for $0.20 each, and two custard dishes for $0.15 each. As well, I have a few other Peach Lusterware dishes, a teacup and saucer marked Made in Japan and a lovely sugar (?) container with floral design. I can't remember what I paid for those. Good deals!


Stay tuned for more glimpses of my {many} collections...

  3. A couple of years ago I found a peach lusterware bowl and put it on ebay. I was so happy it didn't sell as I quickly fell in love with it. You're so right...food looks so pretty in it and the beauty is you can pick up peach lusterware for so little. Love your story! Smoochies!
